It could've been one of the younger Roombas ... didn't know any better, or was missing its mentor. Just wanted to go play hide-and-go-seek. Found a good spot for sure.





sorry

Match 17 on Newton was played with a flag on the field.

How could everyone miss that?

I like how the announcer says "Bad robot! Bad robot!!".

Having almost missed picking up a flag once or twice myself, it's not too hard, especially if the flag isn't bright or obnoxious ;P however, for everyone to miss it...that's pretty impressive.

On a similar note, every so often, matches get started with one of the field gates open, sometimes with a ramp deployed, sometimes with the protective cover dislodged.

It happened once at SVR this year, and I've seen it in the past elsewhere.

They probably thought it was a troll bot must be somebody wasn't reading the team updates.

Isn't that the name of the game...

Roomba Rumble?

You know back in my day we had an upright vacuum called the Placebo Bot.

It actually did drive around the field intentionally when the matches were on going.

I'd like to see someone loose a full size Hoover.

You kids and your miniaturization!

Hobbles out on my cane.

Next year they should make Roombas the game piece. They're not very effective at vacuuming the rug that's for sure.

Some sort of mobile goal on top of a Roomba that is driving around the floor would be hilarious.

6vRoomba Lunacy?

Make a fake Roomba charger infrared beacon and get the Roombas to balance the bridge with you.
